Talk about blatant bias. Although crowdfunded site Kickstarterrefused the makers of the new Gosnell movie permission to fundraise, the same company hosted the recent After Tiller late-term abortionist documentary….

The After Tiller Kickstarter campaign described how the documentary delved into, “the lives of these physicians, who have become the new number-one targets of the pro-life movement, yet continue to risk their lives every day.”…

Right before the project was set to launch, Kickstarter wrote to [filmmaker Phelim] McAleer and demanded that “the phrase ‘1000s of babies stabbed to death’ and similar language be modified or removed from the project.” The site reasoned that, “Our Community Guidelines outline that we encourage and enforce a culture of respect and consideration.”

But McAleer called out Kickstarter’s hypocrisy later, by citing the site’s 16 projects about stabbing, 5 projects about incest, 44 projects about rape and 28 projects with F**k or F**king in the title (as well as one project with C*** in the project description).

Controlling language in the description is not “nixing” anything. I don’t totally agree with it, but it’s not banning it from raising funds, nor is it banning the actual content of the project. It’s just banning a few words from the description. If the filmmakers truly cared about bringing this story to the public they would be willing to change the language. It really feels like using shock language and emphasizing opinions is more important than making a film on an actual serial killer.

Anyways, the words they used DID break their guidelines which was created BEFORE they made that profile. Using profanity is one thing, but language describing murder, rape, other acts of violence, creates sensory images- it makes the person visualize images, scents, tastes, sounds, emotions and sensations that are unnerving and sickening, whereas cursing does not create this imagery. Plus, I’m not sure if it was ever proven one thousand infants were stabbed. He was only charged with about three murders, because they couldn’t prove all the infants had breathed outside the womb, more were found with stab wounds, but I think the numbers they came up with were based on the number of late term abortions performed, but not all these abortions would have resulted in live births. I find it criminal and immoral- along with the majority of the population- that he performed such late abortions regardless of whether they were born alive, but I believe documentaries should remain as non biased as possible, thus discerning between infants and fetuses.

The only difference between an infant and a fetus is location. I was a premie so I would not even say that size constitutes a difference. Children larger than I was at birth were routinely killed by Gosnell.

The “reversals” also show that the ingestion of medication abortion drugs is never a sure thing when it comes to terminating a pregnancy. While anti-abortion activists tout the alleged “high complication rates” of the process, what they conveniently leave out is that the most common complication is that the patient remains pregnant, and that the protocol needs to be followed up with D&C or vacuum aspiration abortion in order to end the pregnancy….

Why is the “reversal” apparently so successful then? Primarily it is because those who are trying to continue the pregnancy are already in the midst of a failed medication abortion to start with….

“There’s no evidence of any demonstrable effect of the ‘treatment’ these anti-abortion centers are marketing,” Dr. Cheryl Chastine, a provider at South Wind Women’s Center in Wichita, Kansas, said. “The medical literature is quite clear that mifepristone on its own is only about 50 percent effective at ending a pregnancy. That means that even if these doctors were to offer a large dose of purple Skittles, they’d appear to have ‘worked’ to ‘save’ the pregnancy about half the time. Those numbers are consistent with what these people are reporting.”

“[The abortion pill] binds much more tightly to the progesterone receptor, to block it than progesterone itself does…. So there really is not much evidence to indicate, I’m really not aware of anything, that by increasing the amount of progesterone you’re gonna somehow block the effect of this drug….

I think this is really outside of standard of care to just begin doing this kind of treatment, without collecting more rigorous studies about its effectiveness.”

Note: The function of mifepristone is to block progesterone receptors (which is why, in an abortion pill reversal, an extra injection of progesterone is given to counteract these effects). Mifepristone “directly causes endometrial decidual degeneration, cervical softening and dilatation, release of endogenous prostaglandins, and an increase in the sensitivity of the myometrium to the contractile effects of prostaglandins. Mifepristone-induced decidual breakdown indirectly leads to trophoblast detachment, resulting in decreased syncytiotrophoblast production of hCG, which in turn causes decreased production of progesterone by the corpus luteum (pregnancy is dependent on progesterone production by the corpus luteum through the first 9 weeks of gestation—until placental progesterone production has increased enough to take the place of corpus luteum progesterone production).”
